Subjects included 300 patients who underwent allogeneic HSCT Recombinant thrombomodulin (131 in the rTM(+) group and 169 in the rTM(−) group). The control group received heparin or no anti- Cumulative overall survival probability aGVHD coagulation therapy. When we examined patients with confirmed complications (day 1–100), the frequencies of TMA acute graft-versus-host disease (aGVHD) and thrombotic microangiopathy (TMA) were significantly lower in the rTM(+) group, while the frequencies of veno-occlusive disease did not show such differences. rTM adminis- tration was associated with significant differences in the cumulative incidence of aGVHD (any grade and II-IV grades) and TMA. The cumulative overall survival probability was significantly higher in the rTM(+) group (42.3% versus 26.2%, p = .037). Therefore, some causes of a poor prognosis included aGVHD and TMA. The present findings suggest that rTM plays a preventive role in transplant-related complications, such as aGVHD and TMA, after allogeneic HSCT.
